Rowland Unified facing hard decisions

Rowland Unified School Board will hold a special board meeting followed by a regular meeting on Tuesday, July 7, in the district office. The meeting begins at 4:30 p.m.

Deputy Superintendent Bob Wertz will present an update on the state budget and financial implications for Rowland Unified.

The failure of Measure E last week will force the board to revise its budget for next year.

“We
had created a restoration list in the event that it passed so we could
restore our programs cherished by parents and community members,”
School Board President Robert Hidalgo said. “We also created a deeper
cut list in the event that it did not. All it means is we will revisit
that deeper cut list and make some more difficult decisions.”

The board will also take action on iQ Academy charter petition.
